Question 1

I've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

Accepted Answer

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

Question 2

My friend's leg accidentally got burned yesterday when it touched the hot silencer of a scooter. The burn is really painful, and it's turned into a dark brown color with a bubble-like swelling. We're really concerned and wondering what the best steps would be to take care of it. Any advice on how to treat this burn and reduce the pain and swelling?

Accepted Answer

Immediate Care*

1. *Cool the burn*: Run cool tap water over the burn for 10-15 minutes or apply a cool, wet compress.
2. *Remove clothing and jewelry*: Gently remove any clothing or jewelry near the burned area, as these can stick to the burn and cause further damage.

*Wound Care*

1. *Apply topical antibiotic ointment*: Use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to help prevent infection.
2. *Cover the burn*: Cover the burn with a non-stick, sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from further irritation and infection.

*Pain Management*

1. *Over-the-counter pain medication*: Use over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and reduce inflammation.

*When to Seek Medical Attention*

1. *Severe burns*: If the burn is severe (covers a large area, is deep, or has penetrated through multiple layers of skin), seek immediate medical attention.
2. *Infection signs*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention.
3. *Difficulty moving*: If your friend is experiencing difficulty moving the affected area or is experiencing numbness or tingling, seek medical attention.

Question 3

I've got a concern about my health. So, I had a skin allergy about a month ago, and thankfully it's all cured now. But recently, I've been dealing with fissures and used some Ayurvedic medicine for them. It seems to have increased my eosinophils, though the infection has cleared up. The thing is, my ASO titre count is still at 421, and I'm just wondering if that's something to be worried about. Could you help me understand if this high ASO titre is normal, or should I be taking some steps here?

Accepted Answer

-Your high ASO titre count of 421 suggests a recent or past streptococcal infection, which could be linked to your skin allergy or other issues. It's good that your infection has cleared up, but the elevated ASO level might take some time to return to nor

I've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?
